HOME > ICE CLIMBING > ICE CLIMBING 401- Alpine Gullies practicing previously learned skills on a semi-committing route fine tuning efficiency in the mountain environment basic avalanche hazard assessment This course is less about learning new skills and more about “putting it all together” on long classics in the Adirondacks of New York or the White Mountains of New Hampshire. You’ll use your mountaineering skills, ice climbing skills and “mountain sense,” as well as your fitness and endurance to maximum efficiency. Your decision-making will also be tested – especially your avalanche hazard assessment skills as you push yourself to exciting new levels in some of the most starkly beautiful and challenging settings in the East. If conditions allow, routes like the Trap Dike in New York, or Shoestring Gully in New Hampshire are great choices, along with the long alpine gullies in Huntington or Tuckerman Ravine on Mt. Washington.
